AMD 3800+ x2 and Vista power settings

Two Vista Power options ( I won't use Power Saver, only one of the following);

Balanced Power Mode: 1004Mhz/multiplier x5, ups the power when it's needed

Performance Mode: 2009Mhz/multiplier x10


If I choose to use Balanced Power Mode, will i still get 100% of what my cpu can do if I choose to use a cpu intensive program? ..or should I stick to Performance?

I realize this setting is mostly for laptops, but if it can help save a little bit of energy without taking alot of power from my cpu, I'll do it :)
